Yeah, after 9/11 New York City has actually had a very good run. Bomb plot (allegedly) foiled by the person’s friends, times square car bomb smokes but doesn’t detonate, NJ bomber plants one in Chelsea and doesn’t hurt anybody, van driver gets 8 people (could have been SO many more), now this. No mass shootings, no…

Well in a sense this is a fair statement because he already has a 10-minute stand-up bit about arguing with cops in Canada, so no, this does not seem out of character. But on the other hand, fuck you.

Anyway, it’s not that great. I’d say he walked the premise right up to the edge of “mildly amusing.”

Everybody knows that bit, but this isn’t quite the same. Eddie becomes white and is shocked that white people act completely different when they are alone. The way they act is an absurdist riff on privilege where being white is a non-stop party.

Do we really believe that Charlie Sheen is capable of knowing for sure what he has and hasn’t done?

The second-to-last item reminds me that I’ve developed an affection for Kimmy Schmidt-style swearing, mostly by substituting “B-word” and “F-word” for the actual words. (Of course in the show you know she’ll circle back and specify what she thinks the abbreviation stands for, and it’ll be something silly.)

They supported McCain when he picked Sarah Palin.

Yeah, there is no way this is the “rudest way possible” to pay someone a dollar. Maybe if the sackie was buried inside of a box of dog shit. Or on the forehead of the corpse of her murdered father. Or shot out of a bazooka-like gun that only fires sackie coins.

...and a mic that is way too close. Back that shit up a foot and let him yell like usual.

There is a reaction against people saying “females” instead of “women,” so now female is not a good adjective, either. I would suggest “Double-X-chromosome-having-or-otherwise-presenting-as-such” as the replacement.

Given how incredibly unpopular the tax reform bill was...

This is kind of a strange criticism from someone who actually watches the show? Look, I don’t know why I’m even reading. I guess because it surfaced in the infinite kinja scroll and I’m bored. But the whole point of the show was to fetishize privilege. Lorelai is the “poor little rich girl” who became the black sheep…

Personally, I’d rather focus on uniting everyone than dividing them...

Pretty sure it’s staged, but my question is about all the fog / smoke wafting around. Is everybody in the audience smoking weed?

Aw cmon. Think about the people who enjoyed his work. They’ll be devastated, and there must be dozens and dozens of them.

Follow-up - so the president still admits that the tape is real?

Sadly, all he has to do to mostly get out of this one is claim he never told anybody it was fake. Fake news! He just needs somebody smart to help him soft-pedal the part where he admits he knows it is real.

I like him fine, but he does do stunts. I find it hard to believe you watch the docs and don’t know what I mean. Whether it’s ambush interviews (putting Dick Clark on the spot over a death connected to one of his restaurants, asking Roger Smith to go with him to Flint), randomly walking through people’s unlocked front…

If you’ve ever eaten at a nice steakhouse, you were probably eating sous-vide meat.

Oh, they’re joking. Of course. That’s hilarious!
